Happy Wednesday Primary 3, we hope you have been having a great week so far, we have loved seeing all of your great work and the activities you have been up to. We have had pictures, paintings, videos, even a short clip of Carson doing a backflip! We are loving your creativity and it is so impressive to see how much you are doing with your time away from doing work, well done everyone!

Today we are having our check-in at 10am, we hope to speak to you all as it has become the highlight of our week getting to chat to you all and find out what you’ve been up to!

Today we have a challenge to set you all in light of not having the Olympics and Paralympics this year. The challenge is to keep active however you can and to keep a record of your activities on this website: https://www.getset.co.uk/travel-tokyo. You will need to find your school and then record what you’ve done and how long you did it for and there are possible prizes up for grabs!

Your maths today is all about looking at the area of a shape. The area is the space inside a shape. So imagine that all shapes are made up of little squares, to find the area you count all the squares. When writing your answers for the area of a shape you write it as cm² – the small 2 means ‘squared’. There will be shapes in future activities that don’t have squares drawn on and then you need to use multiplication, however we will worry about that when we get there! I will also put up an area instructional video in Teams to help you! Choose your own challenge level:

Good morning Primary 3, we hope you are well and we are excited to share some work and some of the VE celebrations pictures we have received yesterday. It is always so uplifting to see the work you’ve been doing and we would love to post every single thing you’ve sent to us, however unfortunately we cannot upload everything due to blog upload restrictions. Here is a selection of photos, including Thomas and his family’s VE celebrations which looked like so much fun and Poppy creating her potato space art, it’s out of this world!

 

We would also like to remind you that tomorrow at 10am we will be having our Teams check-in. We thought to change the time to the morning and see how it goes, if the afternoon suits people better we will return to the afternoon and if the morning is better we can keep it to then? We are looking forward to chatting with you all and seeing how you are getting on, we miss you all!

We would also ask your parents if it would be possible for them to follow this link and complete this short survey from West Lothian Council, this would be much appreciated!
